'Nice and healthy and happy': Resident animals settle into new homes at Willowbrook Wildlife Center dupageforest
The stealthy bird of prey is not on the hunt. The young owl has been learning how to fly at Willowbrook Wildlife Center in Glen Ellyn.
"We're going to be moving from this situation of just putting any animal into any space and making it work to having these really nice, purposely thought out, species-specific enclosures," said Reich, the center's head veterinarian. Alicia Biewer, resident wildlife supervisor at the Willowbrook Wildlife Center in Glen Ellyn, helped set up new enclosures with furniture tailored to each animal's needs. - Brian Hill | Staff Photographer "Now all we have to do is just queue them to come inside, so we're working on training them all," said Alicia Biewer, the center's resident wildlife supervisor.
"The sheer amount of training that went into some of these guys just to make them comfortable with us, not even loving us, just comfortable with us, is a big testament to our resident care team," Reich said."But most of these animals don't want to be in captivity."
